McDaniel has been ordered by the court to not have contact with her ex, Marion "Mack" McDaniel. He released a statement saying his sole focus right now is the emotional well-being and safety of his daughter.

In court, officials said McDaniel told the alleged hit man she would pay $10,000 to kill her ex husband. The 'hitman' was an undercover police officer. The pivotal meeting took place at an Olive Garden near Buffalo Speedway.
